Someone To Live For

Chapter 6

A week later, Elizabeth wakes up, and sees Lucky sleeping in the chair next to her bedside. She still couldn't remember one thing about their relationship or anything about her life. But she knew that he was a good man.

Why I can't remember anything? I have a wonderful husband and a son. I want to remember the day that I gave birth to my son, the day that I married my husband, the first time I meet him, our kiss… I want to remember everything. She then grabbed the pad and threw it across the room, waking Lucky up.

He ran to her side. "Elizabeth… I know this is hard for you." She looked at him, and just sighed.

He grabbed her hand. "You're going to get better."

Forgetting that she couldn't talk, she tried to talk.

He looked at her. "Elizabeth, don't hurt your voice." he said, as he run to the floor, and got the pad. He then put the pad on her lap. She scribbled something on it.

When I am going to be able to talk and remember everything?

Lucky sighed. "I don't know, I wish I did. But I'm going to be here by your side."

She looked at Lucky, she could see why she would fall in love with this guy, but how long would he stay with her, if she never remembered anything. Suddenly there was a knock at the door; Laura was standing in front of the doorway, with Cameron in her arms.

"Audrey needed to do something, so I said that I would bring Cam by to see Elizabeth." Elizabeth remembered seeing this woman yesterday. She was Lucky's mother, and what she remembered was that this woman has been ill for quite a while, and had just returned to town. Laura placed Cameron on the bed. She looked at Elizabeth and could see how afraid she was.

"Elizabeth, don't be afraid. Cameron doesn't know that you don't know him; he doesn't know anything. "

Elizabeth smiled at Cameron, as he started to crawl up to her. He had a toy in his hand; Elizabeth started to play with him. Lucky and Laura moved away from the bedside.

Laura turned to Lucky. "How's she doing?"

"Frustrated "

Laura looked at Lucky. "I would be too if I didn't have my voice or my memory, but you are there for her, that it is all that she needs."

Lucky hugged Laura. "Thanks mom, I just don't know how much I can do for her."

"Just love her." Laura looked at her son, smiling at Elizabeth with Cameron.
"You helped her through one of the rough times in her life; you are going to be able to help
her with this too."

"What if I can't?" Lucky said, sadly. Laura put her hand on Lucky's shoulder. "You will, I know it."

Elizabeth looked at Cameron. She didn't feel anything for this little boy,
not like how a mother should. She doesn't feel anything for him. It's like
he is someone else's kid not mine. Would she ever remember her son? And if
not, what would happen to him?

"Mommy..." Cameron said, as he started to crawl near her. She grabbed a hold
of him, and gently moved him away from her.

Lucky walked up to Elizabeth
and smiled. "I know Cameron can be tiring, and you need your rest." he said, as he grabbed a hold of Cameron.

"Say goodbye to Mommy."

Cameron waved at Elizabeth.

Lucky then turned to Elizabeth. "I'll be back soon." he said, as he looked
at Cameron." he said, as he left the room.

Laura walked over to Elizabeth's bedside, and sat down. "You weren't tired,
were you?" Laura said, as she looked at Elizabeth. "I know how hard this is
for you. Your son is like a stranger to you, isn't he?"

Laura sighed. "I'm having the same problem right now too." Elizabeth wrote
something in the pad, and handed it to Laura.

What are you talking about?

Laura looked at Elizabeth. "You know that I have been in a hospital for many years."

Elizabeth nodded.

"Well I returned to town not too long ago, and well let's just sometimes it
feel like my own kids are strangers to me. I know it's not the same thing, I
can remember my children, but the thing is that all I can remember is how I
left them. My little girl is a grown woman. Lucky is married and has a
family. My other son could be becoming a father. I just keep on thinking to
myself that they are like how they were before. They don't need their mom
anymore. So I know how you are feeling, Elizabeth. Just don't try too hard;
Cameron doesn't understand anything that is happening right now. Just love
him."

You should listen to your own advice. Your children might be grown up, but
they will always need you. I don't remember you, but I can tell how much
Lucky loves you and is happy you are here with him.

Laura smiled. "I guess I should listen to my own advice."

Laura looked at Elizabeth. "You have grown into a wonderful woman."

Elizabeth smiled at the woman she didn't know, but she had a feeling
that she was someone that she could count on.

Lucky then returned to the room, and saw Laura and Elizabeth smiling. "You
two seem to be having a good time."

Laura turned around. "As soon as Elizabeth gets out of the hospital, I want you to have dinner with you, Lulu and Nikolas.

Elizabeth wrote something on the pad.

Thank you for everything

"My pleasure." Laura said, as she walked out of the room. Elizabeth smiled
at Lucky, as she grabbed his hand. He sat down on the chair. "Are you doing
okay? I know that I shouldn't have let Cameron come in the room so soon. I
know it is hard for you."

Lucky… don't apologize. Yes it was hard for me. But he's my son, I have to
be there for him no matter if I know who he is or doesn't.

Lucky nodded. "Just take your time, Elizabeth. We have all the time in the
world."

I'm pretty lucky to have found you.

Lucky laughed. "That's not what you said when we first meet,"

I must have been stupid then.

"You must have." he said, smiling.

Tony Jones then walked into the room. "How are you feeling today?"

Okay

Tony looked at Lucky and Elizabeth both. "Because of the injury, your legs
aren't doing as well, so I would like you to have physical therapy. I would
like to start that today."

When will my voice going to come back?

Tony grabbed a chair. "That is something I can't answer, how is your voice
feeling?"

"It's feels like I want to talk, but I can't, like I say the words, but they
don't come out.

"That's a good sign. Just take your time. It will happen slowly, but it
will." Tony said. "Your physical therapist will be by to see you in the
afternoon." Tony said, as he walked out of the room.

Lucky was sitting by Elizabeth's bedside when he saw Mac outside of the
room. He turned to Elizabeth and saw that she had fallen asleep. He quietly
walked out of the room. "Mac, any news about Manny?" he asked. Mac shakes
his head. "

Lucky looked through the window at Elizabeth. "I want the guard to stay."
Lucky said, looking at the guard.

"Lucky… you are here all the time; I don't think anybody is going to be able
to get into the room." Lucky nodded. "I know that, but I just want to be
sure." Mac nodded. " I understand." He said, as he walked away from Lucky.

Lucky was talking with the guards when he heard a noise in Elizabeth's room.
He run into the room and he saw that she was awake.

"Lu..." Elizabeth said, quietly. Lucky run as fast as he could out of the
room, and told the nurse to get Dr. Jones. When Lucky got back to the room,
Elizabeth was sitting up in the bed. "It hurts..."

Lucky hugged her. "I know it does. Your voice is slowly coming back."
Elizabeth looked at him sadly. "D.."

Dr. Jones walked into the room. "Try not to talk too much." Elizabeth
looked at Dr. Jones. "My.. voice…"

"Yes your voice is back, but I want you to take it easy. How are you
feeling?" Dr. Jones asked. Elizabeth at him. "It's hurts, my throat."

"That's normal. Just take it easy." he said, as he walked out of the room.
Lucky smiled at Elizabeth. "I knew that you would get better."

She looked at Lucky. "Still don't remember you." He put his arms around
her. "Don't talk right now Elizabeth. It's going to be okay." he said. She
looked into his eyes, and she believe that it was going to be okay.

The physical therapist walked into Elizabeth's room. She walked up to
Elizabeth's bedside. "My name is Dr. Hunter.

"How are you feeling today? "

"I…" Elizabeth started to coughed. The doctor looked at Elizabeth. "I heard
that you just got your voice back. I don't want you to do too much today. We
are going to just doing a few things okay?"

"No… I want to get out of here." The physical therapist looked at Elizabeth.
"You need to get your strength back first."

"First, we are going to just a few exercises, nothing too much." Elizabeth
sighed. She just wanted to get out of the hospital and back to her life.
Even though she didn't know what that was.

How is she supposed to go back to her life, why she couldn't even remember
it? How long was Lucky going to wait for her?

"Okay, Elizabeth, we are going to try just a few steps." The physical
therapist said, as she helped Elizabeth out of the bed.

Elizabeth took a few steps.

"You are doing great, Elizabeth." The physical therapist said.

"It hurts." Elizabeth yelled. The physical therapist looked at Elizabeth.
"I think that's good for today." She said.

"No… I want to do more." Elizabeth replied. The therapist shook her head.
"You don't want to overdo yourself, it will make things worse." she said, as
she helped Elizabeth back into the bed.

"I'll come by and see you tomorrow."

Elizabeth sighed. "Fine." she said, as she laid her head on the pillow. She
just wanted everything to go back to normal, whatever that was.

Later, Lucky walked into Elizabeth's room. "How are you feeling?" he asked. She
looked at him. "I want to go home." Lucky grabbed a chair. "I know you do,
but you still need to get better."

She then looked at the bag he was holding.
"What's in the bag?" she asked. He smiled slightly at her. "I brought you Eli's."

"Ribs" she said. He looked at her. "You remember that." He said, with a big smile. She was starting to remember everything.

Elizabeth shook her head. "No, sorry, Lucky. I just smell them." Elizabeth
looked at Lucky's face, and could see that he was upset that she didn't
remember.

"I know that you thought I was remembering something, I'm sorry. I know this is
hard for you. You know you can leave; I'm not going to be upset. Lucky
looked at Elizabeth. "I'm not going to leave you, Elizabeth. I love you."

"But I don't remember loving you." Elizabeth said. Lucky grabbed her hand.
" I didn't want to tell you this right now, but I once forget that I loved
you."

"You forget that you loved me?" Elizabeth said, with this confused look on
her face. Lucky laughed. "Let's just say it is a really long story, and
I'll tell you it one day, I just want to show you if we can deal with that,
we can deal with anything."

Lucky then grabbed one of her ribs. "What are you doing?" Elizabeth said,
laughing.

"Well you weren't eating it." Lucky said.

"I'm eating it now." she said, as she grabbed it from him. Lucky smiled to
himself. It was just like old times; just maybe everything was going to be
okay.

A few days later,

Lucky was walking towards Elizabeth's room, when he heard her yelling at the
physical therapist. "I think I know what I can or can't do. I can walk."

Lucky stood in the doorway, watching Elizabeth fighting with the physical
therapist. The physical therapist turned to Lucky. "Maybe you can help her."
She said, as she walked away from Elizabeth. Lucky walked over to Elizabeth.
"I see you are giving the therapist a hard time."

"I just want to walk, how hard is that." Elizabeth yelled. Lucky looked at
Elizabeth. "I know it is hard for you, but the therapist is just trying to
help, but I got some great news for you."

"What?"

"You are able to go home tomorrow. "Lucky said, with this smile on his face.
She looked at him. "Where is exactly home?" she asked.

"With me and Cameron."

Elizabeth shook her head. "I can't go home with you. I don't know who you
are. You are going to expect for everything to go back to normal. That is
not going to happen."

Lucky grabbed her hand. "I don't expect anything, Elizabeth."

"I can't, Lucky. I just can't. I want more than anything to go home with you
and Cameron, but I can't do that. Not when I don't know who I am, it's not
fair for you"

"Elizabeth." Lucky said, looking at her. "I promise you, I won't expect
anything from you. We will just be friends."

"You're my husband… we're not suppose to be just friends. I can't deal with
this, just go." Elizabeth yelled." Elizabeth said, as she tried to walk back
to the bed, but she fall onto the ground.

Lucky tried to help her. "Just leave." Elizabeth said. Lucky wouldn't listen
to her; he helped her back into the bed. She looked at him. "Thank you,
Lucky, now you can go."

"Don't push me away."

"It's the best thing I can do for you, Lucky. I see the way that you look at
me, it's the way that a husband looks at his wife, but I'm not that person
anymore. I don't know who I am anymore. I don't want you to think that
everything is going to be okay, that's not fair for you."

"So what it's better that will just leave me. Elizabeth Spencer, we have
been through a lot, I'm not going to let a little thing… like memory loss
made me lose you."

Elizabeth then started to cry." 'Don't do this, Lucky. Don't be this sweet
romantic guy." Lucky smiled at her. I will fight for you, Elizabeth."

She glanced at him. "I'm not the same person that you fall in love with. I
don't remember anything about you. Is that really someone you want to be
with?" Lucky put her arms around her, and stroke her hair.

Suddenly Elizabeth got a flashback of Lucky in her arms, trying to calm her down and make her better. She felt so safe that day in his arms; she felt the same way right now.

Lucky looked at Elizabeth. "Did you remember something?" She shakes her
head. "Nothing really, it's just a flash, I don't even know if it is real."

"Just tell me about it." Lucky replied.

"No, Lucky. It was nothing; you were just hugging me, that is all. It wasn't
a memory, it was just come, and then it went right away." She then laid her
head on the pillow. "Could you just leave me?"

"Elizabeth."

"Lucky, go check on Cameron." She then looked at Lucky. "You're a great
father, he's lucky to have you."

"I love that little boy like he is my own son."

Elizabeth looked at Lucky. "I thought he was your son."

He shakes his head. "No, but I see him as my son. His father is dead; you
never had a relationship with him."

"You mean I had a one night stand?" Elizabeth said. Lucky looked at
Elizabeth. "You knew this guy, so it wasn't just a random guy."

Elizabeth sighed. "I don't want to talk about this anymore." Lucky nodded.
" I understand."

"Can you go?" Elizabeth asked. Lucky didn't want to leave Elizabeth by
herself, but he knew that she needed to be alone.

"I'll be right outside if you need me."

"No, Lucky go home. I don't need you here. Just leave." Elizabeth said, as
she laid her head on the pillow.

Later that evening,

Zander was watching Elizabeth.

"When I am supposed to know when it is my time to help her?" he asked. His boss looked at him.
"Very soon, I need to be really careful."

Suddenly Zander saw a man with tattoos and walked into Elizabeth's room and had his hand over her mouth, she was screaming, but nobody was coming for her.

"Who is he? What is he doing to her?"

The boss looked at Zander. "Just keep on watching."

Zander watched as there was another scene, but this time it was of Elizabeth trying to walk and when she tried, she fall onto the ground.

Zander turned to his boss. "What happened? I thought somebody was hurting her."

His boss shakes his head. "Not yet, you have to prevent it, by helping her. You're her guardian angel."

"How I'm supposed to do that?" Zander asked. His boss looked at him. "I
don't know, that's up to you. You will figure out a way, or Elizabeth is
going to be in big trouble."

"Are you telling me if I screw up, she is going to be in danger?" The boss
shakes his head. "I don't know that. This person might still hurt her.
You're only her guardian angel, we can't change things, we can just help
things. Now go."

Elizabeth was lying on the floor. She hated this. She couldn't even get up
without falling over. What kind of life does she have? Nothing was ever going
to be the same again, she thought to herself.

She suddenly she saw someone standing in front of her. "Can you help me up?" she asked. He looked at her. "I know you don't remember me, but I'm Zander Smith, and I'm here to help you."

To be continued!
